Al Ansari, Chairman of Al Ansari Financial Services, said: “These results reflect our continued commitment to delivering consistent and sustainable returns to our shareholders, underpinned by a resilient business model and strong financial performance. Our ability to maintain a high dividend payout level, while strengthening our financial position and investing in the expansion of our footprint locally and regionally, demonstrates our team’s disciplined management and highlights our ability to deliver sustainable performance. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on growing our core businesses, advancing AI-enabled digital channels, enhancing operational efficiency, and capturing growth opportunities aligned with our long-term strategy.

The recent acquisition of BFC Group Holding enhances Al Ansari Financial Services’ regional footprint, further strengthening its presence in key markets while supporting the Group’s long-term growth objectives.
